This is a senior leadership role with the autonomy and accountability that goes with it.

£16 to £18 per hour (depending on experience and event portfolio), plus 12.07% rolled-up holiday pay

Real autonomy and ownership of your events, with Director-level support behind you

Funded First Aid at Work, IOSH and other professional qualifications

Progression to Senior Event Manager -> Operations Manager

Pension, sick pay, expenses paid

Be part of building one of Scotland's most exciting new event hospitality operators from the ground up

What we're looking for

Current SCPLH personal licence (essential at appointment)

Significant operational experience in licensed hospitality: events, multi-site or large venue background

Demonstrable cash, commercial and team accountability in a previous role
